Photo request: Just about all of them! Any pictures of wine regions, grape varieties or wine would be useful. In particular we need wine region maps that can be licensed for Wikipedia.
I need to go out, I will come back in a few hours to flesh it out with more statistics from OIV, sources, etc. Jon (talk) 00:45, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Corvinone in more recent times is at least as important as Rondinella—and certainly more so than Molinara—in the making of Valpolicella and Bardolino red wines, which are usually Corvina-dominated blends of these and other autochthonous varieties. Sources will often say the blend is Corvina Rondinella and Molinara, which it largely was until the 1980s. Since then Corvinone has taken the place of Molinara in most wines due to its denser colour superior flavours and drying qualities. Its growing area in Italy between 2000 and 2010 increased more than ten-fold from just 88 hectares (220 acres) to 930 hectares (2,300 acres), whilst in the same period that of Molinara more than halved, from 1,301 hectares (3,210 acres) to 595 hectares (1,470 acres). (ref: Anderson book) Heck... this started as a note, I'll just add this to the article...! Jon (talk) 12:47, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
